Davey Lopes, twice MLB World Series Winning Pitcher for the LA Dodgers, left us today, only 80 years young. We'll see you in-field soon, Davey; save the best pitch for us...

Just to correct the record, Davey Lopes was never a pitcher. He was however, a great second baseman and later coach and manager.

On this day in 1968 we lost Martin Luther King Jr.

Two months later we would lose Robert F Kennedy Sr.

I’ve often wondered how we as a nation could’ve turned out for the better had they both had lived.

 Go back another 5 years and wonder if JFK could have had a second term.

[SereneSeagull]

I wish JFK could’ve, @JoeJ415665 

[JoeJ415665]
